Though truth/revelation may hurt, I must have eyes of faith to see (and take comfort) that it is God lovingly-faithfully answering in grace these prayers [Proverbs 3:34]:
"...Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You." ~Psalm 143:8
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me
And lead me in the way everlasting." ~Psalm 139:23-24
When one goes through an experience like this, the response is not "self worth", "self identity" and "believing in yourself." Because God's identity (He being Mercy, Abba Father) is of greater importance than mine; His identity rules over my feeble identity. My worth is but a clouded facet of His incomparable worth. I ought to believe in Him more than myself for within me and apart from His Spirit, "nothing good dwells." (Romans 7:18-24) I praise God that hope and healing does not lie nor depend on my self-anything because self is a feeble crutch; it all is from and in Him.
"And the Lord said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." ~2 Corinthians 12:9
“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles ...A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth ...I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, And not forsake them." ~Isaiah 42:1,3,16
